Remember Mitchell Fayed!

I first infected (pardon the pun) the five sigler junkies I've brought into the fold with this book.  I can't wait to get it in hardcover so I can share the infection with more peeps.  FDO, not sure I'll like the toned down version, but I'm damned glad it's finally going into print!

Cheers and congrats.

Apology

I wanted to apologize for my review of the "Infected" You did make some good points pointing out my hypocrisy in my snide review in Amazon decrying the lack of originally in horror writers. ("I liked it when it was called "28 Days Later."). I tried to change my review but Amazon program won't let me. It must have been frustrating to labor since 1993 and then when becoming a best selling author just to have an unknown writer take a cheap shot at you. In the future I will be more responsible in my reviews of other writers' books.

Kindle Version

I was hoping for a midnight release tonight!

I want at least one copy Scott If for some crazy reason this sells out anyway you can extend past the 3,000? I have a terrible feeling something will happen at 3 CST and these will be all sold by 3:05 or something my internet just won't be quick enough. 

If we miss out will this get a nationwide release later?

DON'T PANIC!

If my memory serves correctly Scott said on the tour that if he sells more then the 3,000 they would print more, it would just take longer to reach you.  So don't panic, order away and read CONTAGIOUS while you wait :)

You should be fine

I'll be honest, if I move 3,000 copies in one day, I will buy myself a turban, a camel, and declare myself the Iron Sheik of the publishing world. That is a HUGE amount of books, and I'm not Stephen King (not yet, anyway ...) so you should be fine.
On Edited

Absolutely!

Fo sho, J-Fed, we'll be working on a Kindle version in the near future. Kind of a smalll operation here, so if we move one title in one format at at time, we're happy and we'll line up the next one as soon as we can.

$34.95, $31.95 after discount

Be on the lookout for discount codes, as provided by a few podcasters and vidcasters. Save $3 per copy!

If forget (And am too lazy

If forget (And am too lazy to root through the podcasts of last week); are you telling us which podcasters are giving the code goods? Or are we going to be all canny-like and hunt the precious codes ourselves?

They will be listed on order page

I'm making it very easy for you to save the $3, even if you listen to no podcasts other than those of General Siglerisimo (which is the way things SHOULD be).
On Edited

Works for me!

It'll be interesting to see who people tend to choose to save their shekels. Maybe make them honourary Officers in the General's army? Commodore Greg Crites has a nice ring to it...

I want one.

At first I didn't know about you.  Then Tee Morris showed up to Demicon wearing a Krakens jersey.  I went to podio books and listened to Earthcore and liked it.  (One good book: it had to be a fluke right?)  I then listened to Ancestor (also good but two books had to be a fluke right?)  Then I subscribed to your feed and listened to the Rookie.  (It is now my favorite book.)  Nocternal? Infected? Contagious (so far is good)?  All great books, but they don't hold a candle to the Rookie.  I bought Infected and Contagious.  I wanted to buy the Rookie.  I mainlined the Rookie.  Can't mainine you anymore because I am caught up which makes me a hopeless junkie.

I will be sitting by my computer on that day to buy a single digit copy of the Rookie.  I will settle for a double digit copy or even book 3000, but I am going to try as early as possible.  Any tips for navigating to the buy link quick tomorrow?  Do you accept normal credit cards or must I paypal?

Thanks,
